This is most likely False.

How can it be? You can create a living thing without any living tissue?

As I noted earlier, organic molecules are abundant in the solar system and can be created naturally under the reducing conditions the Earth experienced before photosynthesis was prevalent. Molecules can self-assemble... it is no accident that most biological macromolecules are polymers. Lipids self-assemble into bilayers and spheres (much like the plasma membrane). You can make coacervates (spherical assembleges of lipids) on your own stovetop at home with the right ingredients. There are various hypotheses about how the first primitive replicators formed, and it won't be long until such a replicator is created in the lab. That will be all that is necessary to falsify your #2 assumption.

I seem to be hearing a lot of "genetic engineering" or a lot of post go on the pretense that scientist have been involved, when the fact of that matter remains that it would have never happened, UNLESS scientist had to alter or change so type of molecule or incorporate another factor to get the response they agree with.
